Fighting words? They are speechless, reporting losses at home and abroad.

Fighting words about what? Joining TPP? Opposing nuclear power? Crushing unions? A tad bit more information would've been nice, JT.

Uh-oh, old Japanese men in suits did the "gambarre" fist!
Get ready for a slew of breath-taking changes, revolutionary ideas and non-negotiable restructuring that will drag Japan out of the 1950s into the 21st century, leading this nation forward...

I have a japanese friend that worked in a Toyota factory in Nagano. What he told me it looked like modern slavery; a mistake and you got an extra hour that day, sleeping in barracks, and they even counted the seconds he lost going to the toilet.
Now these big guys show off, trying to get better conditions for them, not for their workers. I'm so glad young people in Japan is not interested in cars anymore.

Cool pic!
Not often you get to see Mr Mitsubishi, Mr Mazda, Mr Honda, Mr Toyota and Mr Nissan standing in a line.
Just hope they don't try to smash those boxes in front of them!

I would have hoped one of them might have come up with a decent tie. Talk about grey old men.

Just look at how vibrant and energetic they look. I bet they're bursting with innovative and fresh ideas for their companies. I'm also sure they got to where they are today by hard work, as opposed to family connections or friends in the right places.
